Changing the Ethernet Switching Mode with the LAN Uplinks Manager
When you change the Ethernet switching mode, Cisco UCS Manager logs you out and restarts the fabric
interconnect. For a cluster configuration, Cisco UCS Manager restarts both fabric interconnects sequentially.
The second fabric interconnect can take several minutes to complete the change in Ethernet switching
mode and become system ready. The configuration is retained.
